Niagara College is helping students suit up to make a positive impression on potential employers.
Dress to Impress, a free business clothing and accessories giveaway for students, will be held at the College’s Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus on January 29 and at the Welland Campus on January 30.
Hosted by NC’s Career Services department, the event will give students the opportunity to pick up professional attire free of charge to wear for job interviews and networking events.
Career Services first launched the annual event in 2017 to help alleviate the financial challenges students may face when it comes to investing in professional attire to wear to job interviews or networking opportunities.
The initiative has racked up support among College employees and the public.
Career Services staff members at both campuses have been collecting donations from college employees for months, as well as from college retirees, community residents, local businesses and charitable organizations who have heard about the initiative and wanted to help, including the St. Catharines Meridian Branches and Corporate Office, and Niagara-on-the-Lake-based Newark Neighbours.
Dress to Impress free clothing and accessory giveaway takes place NOTL Campus: January 29, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., SAC Activity Room (N002b, lower level in cafeteria/ Student Commons area) and Welland Campus: January 30, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Applied Health Institute foyer.
